You probably already know this, but for those who don't... ldd is your friend. When a specific binary (such as /usr/bin/acroread) fails, type: ldd /usr/bin/acroread ... and look for any libraries it says it can't find. Sometimes the actual binary is hidden inside a bash script, like /usr/bin/firefox that does five hundred things before it actually calls /usr/lib/firefox-whatever/firefox-bin, so you need to examine the bash script, figure out what binary executable it is calling, and run ldd on that executable. -- Peter B.
